Karate is a type of martial art developed in the Ryukyu Islands, developed from indigenous fighting methods called "te" (literally "hand") and Chinese kenpo. A karate practitioner is called a "karateka".
Karate is primarily a striking art which uses punching, kicking, knee and elbow strikes, and open-handed techniques such as knife-hands and ridge-hands. Grappling, locks, restraints, throws, and vital point strikes are taught in some styles. Karate can be practiced as budo (self-development), as a sport, as a combat sport, or as self-defense training; Traditional karate places emphasis on budo. Modern Japanese style training emphasizes the psychological elements incorporated into a proper kokoro (attitude) such as perseverance, fearlessness, virtue, and leadership skills. Sport karate places emphasis on exercise and competition. The use of weapons are a important training activity in some styles. These are the techniques.











Tora-ken (Tiger Fist)
The user rears the left fist back with the side of the right hand raised at the opponent, then, while stepping forward with the right foot, uses the left fist to execute a powerful punch with the right fist cocked back at the hip, striking the solar plexus. This attack travels outward from the body in a straight line and finishes with the punch in line with your centre of the body. It also involves a step because the step puts all of your body weight behind the punch.
Hyou-jouken (Panther Uppercut)
The user places both fists at his sides and upturns them, cocking back for the attack. Then, he would launch his left fist at the opponent's chin, sending them high into the air. This attack keeps Yugo's balance using the uppercut. At the end of the technique, the inside of the fist points upwards, the arm is raised diagonally high, and the opponent is hit with seiken.
Hiyaku-ryu Kyaku (Dragon Leap Kick)
The user forces the weight of their legs to lift themselves up off the ground, leaping forward in a sideways position and executes an overhead heel kick, slamming their leg on the opponent's head. This attack uses the power of the heel to inflict great damage, focusing on the finesse of this technique.
Inazuma Jokutou (Lightning Sword Kick)
With immense speed, the user crouches and dashes forward, thrusting their left elbow forward at the opponent's gut, causing damage to multiple ribs, with the right fist cocked back at the hip. This attack has great speed, and can make a great opening technique, using the fist-chest interface as a
 pivot, and offering several advantages over punches.

Taekwondo

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5slkUIBacoMwWS0HXJBx5uE6-EMXSQ25PIiZiFfIlyRheKoyVMMHR25LLdmZZbcyn9QYz4iLlnu2x_6UxFEve8eK3aIMBpZBPajXXPh7Ug_oHz1buDq8b91NeblEPtlXAEAlVQWpeu6Co/s1600/taekwondo2.gif

Taekwondo is known for its emphasis on kicking techniques, which distinguishes it from martial arts such as karate or southern styles of kung fu. The rationale is that the leg is the longest and strongest weapon a martial artist has, and kicks thus have the greatest potential to execute powerful strikes without successful retaliation. Historically, the Koreans thought that the hands were too valuable to be used in combat.

In 1952, at the height of the Korean War, there was a martial arts exhibition in which the kwans displayed their skills. In one demonstration, Nam Tae Hi smashed 13 roof tiles with a punch. Following this demonstration, South Korean President Syngman Rhee instructed Choi Hong Hi to introduce the martial arts to the Korean army. By the mid-1950s, nine kwans had emerged. Syngman Rhee ordered that the various schools unify under a single system. The name "taekwondo" was either submitted by Choi Hong Hi or Song Duk Son, and was accepted on April 11, 1955. As it stands today, the nine kwans are the founders of taekwondo, though not all the kwans used the name. The Korea Taekwondo Association was formed in 1959/1961 to facilitate the unification.


Hawk Impact (鷹影響) 
The user leaps up off the ground and swings their heel down on the opponent's head like an axe.

Launching Blade (起動刃)
The user launches their left leg up high at the opponent, sending them high up the air, focusing all of the force into their feet.

Albatross Destruction (アホ破壊)
The user leaps up off the ground and spins their right shin around at the opponent's temple. Then, after jumping, the user thrusts their left leg at the opponent's midsection, pushing them away.
